It can be synthesized from tryptophan via a kynurenine intermediate, and mutations in SLC6A19 decreases the levels of this vitamin in the bloodstream; that mutation causes Hartnup's disease. Consisting of a carboxyl group bound to pyridine, a deficiency of this vitamin, which is the precursor for the electron carriers NAD and NADP, causes a disease with diarrhea, dermatosis, and dementia, known as pellagra. For 10 points, name this substance also known as Vitamin B3.
